I am wanting to create a seperate directory for my analytics program to function.

My website is loosebruce.co.uk and I want my directory to be accessible as
loosebruce.co.uk/analytics
The same way phpmyadmin is accessible with /phpmyadmin

I added the following line to .htaccess file but it is not letting me get into that folder

# follow symlinks & disallow directory listing
# note: your hosting company might not allow these directives to be set. In that case,
# you should either find another hosting company (advised) or remove the line below.
Options +FollowSymlinks -Indexes
DirectorySlash Off

What do I need to do?

Do I need a seperate .htaccess file in the /analytics directory?

Thanks
